Fast Settings

[Markimono]

Hello, what are the fastest settings possible on pcsx2? plugin settings and emulation settings I really don't care about graphics but I can't get above 30 fps in gta sa

specs:

intel i5
8gb ram
intel iris plus 1.5gb vram

you can tinker speedhacks. but your machine is too weak to handle most games under pcsx2
blame your iGPU in that case.

what speed hacks would you recommend to try?

[jesalvein]

start by the recommended ones.
then tinker with ee cycle rate, and maybe a bit vu cycle stealing.
don't push them too hard if you don't want crashes

Similar hardware here with Mac mini 2014 i5 intel iris pro graphic

Could you be more clear on how apply this hacks? I'm newbie with this emulator.
I found "hack" option inside graphic setup but I don't find where is "cycle rate" "vu cycle" etc

With recommended configuration I get
McRae 3 has 60% frame rate
NBA Street 70% frame rate
PES 6 100% frame rate
NBA 2K11 50% frame rate
Gran Turismo 4 20% frame rate

I have no idea of what you have in your mac. I'm not wealthy enough to buy Macs

Not surprising.

A pc from 2014 would be weak for pcsx2.
A Mac from 2014 is certainly even weaker (although definitely more expensive)

3070 came out in 2020, so what's the point ?

[RedDevilus]

3070 is still cheaper than a Mac. Don't see why are playing that card.

oh, about the price...
It was around 600$ back in the day, so still cheaper than a mac, yeah.

Dunno what he/she has in mind ?
